2*Coup de Coeur

Hachette

“A fine tribute to Roger Antech, who passed away in late 2015, this Blanquette truly stands out. Pale yellow in color with a fine effervescence, it charms with a complex nose of rare intensity, featuring notes of hawthorn and white-fleshed fruits. The full-bodied and well-balanced palate confirms the nose with great power and length.” (Le Guide Hachette des Vins 2017)

Rated estate (2024 guide) 2*Stars (A solid, recommendable vintage, though slightly more consistent and uniform than the previous one)

About the estate:

Françoise Antech-Gazeau masterfully leads this successful wine merchant, which has specialized in sparkling wines for six generations. Nearly a million bottles leave the cellars each year. A broad and consistent range of wines, of high quality, with a clear focus on purity, minerality, and a fresh, balanced profile. The M30 cuvée, made from Mauzac, impressed us with its outstanding ability to serve as an aperitif.
